The Voyage Limited Edition cover is aniline leather. The Walnut Oasis cover looks to be the same material - I can't confirm that, of course, folks are just speculating that it looks to be the same type leather going by the pictures. Nubuck is something a bit different - close, but I got my leathers mixed up. At any rate, since I have the Walnut on order, I'm hoping it's the same type leather.
